In Xiantao, Hubei Province, a man fell off a bridge and began to drown. His daughter started calling for help, and a horseman responded.
Yilibai loved horses since he was a child and had been riding them since he was six. At the time of the accident, he was training horses near a river. The man swam 40 meters on the horse, holding the reins in one hand and holding the unfortunate man in the other. As he got closer to the shore, another passerby joined him.
The government rewarded the men for their bravery, paying each of them 3,000 yuan. The video of the rescue went viral online, and the hero was nicknamed "the prince on a white horse."
Real heroes don't wear capes!
